So we've seen a guy who understands this offense as well as he ever will getting shell-shocked and physically declining.
There's nowhere to go but down from here with Alex Smith. Time to move on.

I'm still convinced Smith's peak as a passing QB ( versus dual-threat QB) is still to come. He showed improvement in many categories this year. The decrease in TD numbers has more to do with Maclin being off his game.
